Rain Stick

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Rain Stick, a piece for live-electronic keyboard, tape, and dance, uses light sensitive continuous controllers in the performance of the live electronic parts of this piece. The choreographic aspects of the dance were influenced by the images from the poem Gallisted Campfire by Stuart Heady: A hushed whipser hangs in the air; Ancient rock trembles to life as if to answer. Soft is the spirit, and its traces are in the tissue of time. Here before, here before, hands touch- though a millenium apart.................... The sound sources of the music are digital synthesizers and samplers controlled and modified by computer. A MIDI controller automated mixing console was also used. Using rain sticks in actual dance performance and setting rock sculptures on the stage add the inspiration to awareness of Earth Day. List of Instruments & Equipment Used Sound Sources: Yamaha DX7II, Roland D50, Yamaha TX802, Yamaha TX16W Sampler, Akai S900 Sampler Audio Processors: Yamaha DMP7, Yamaha SPX90, Yamaha DEQ7 Computer: Macintosh SE/HD, Opcode Studio Plus Two Interface, JLCooper MSB Plus MIDI Patch Bay

Strange Attractors v1.Ob

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Strange Attractors v1.Ob is a composition which involves live interaction between bassoon and computer-controlled electronics and synthesizers. The work was commissioned by bassoonist William Ludwig for the 1990 International Double Reed Society Conference. Strange Attractors uses a Macintosh II computer to control a digital signal processor/mixer, an analog-to-MIDI converter and a Yahama TX802 synthesizer. The controlling software was created by the composer using THINK C and utilizing the Apple MIDI Manager. The Strange Attractors algorithm is a "hyper"-instrument for the bassoon. The hyper-instrument, which resides in the computer, is under the control of the bassoonist through the analog-to-MIDI converter. The reactions of the hyper-instrument translate acoustic performance parameters into computer synthesis and signal processing parameters. Dynamics are translated into spacial location, amount of harmonization, and synthesis, while the number of sonic events controls the synchronization of acoustic and synthesis performance. The hyper-instrument is made of four virtual instruments which progressively become delayed from the sonic event which trigger them. THe voices then become progressively re-synchronized only to become more and further delayed again. This cycle oscillates faster and faster as the piece progresses until the virtual instruments reach their maximum delay. The further along in the piece, the longer the …
